Chapter 198 198; The Footsteps That Were Approaching Them Halted

Scorpion and Eagle walked away as they went down to his resting quarters to find Ming Xie but he didn't find her.

He walked down the corridor to Lin Huang's resting quarters and still he didn't find them.

"Where could they be now?" He worriedly thought out loudly.

"Do you think they sneaked out?" Eagle worriedly asked.

" No they wouldn't.." Scorpion affirmed his response.

"Let's look for them down in the laboratory and then we can look for Lin Fai if we don't find them, but I'm very certain they are around." Eagle suggested.

" Sure.." They walked down the stairs and went to the underground laboratory but they found only Zhou Hua.

"Hello Doctor Zhou Hua, we are looking for the boys and Ming Xie, have you seen them?" He inquired as he checked the place curiously, he hadn't been down here for quite some time.

" Yes, they were here a while ago, I think they went down to the secret chamber." He politely responded as he wet on with his experiments.

"Thank you..." Scorpion walked out Eagle tagging behind him as he went down to the secret chamber in the study room and opened the secret door that opened to the machinery room.

He could see the stairs were lit as the wall lights had been switched on.

They walked down the stairs, Eagle was amazed this was the first time he was going inside this secret place.

"Scorpion, how come I don't know a place like this exists in here." He inquired feeling jealousy.

" Now you know..." He snorted back coldly as they got down into the hall and saw how busy and occupied everyone was.

"What are you guys doing here?" He inquired curiously as he approached Ming Xie while Eagle approached Lin Hong.

"We are trying to create some explosives." Ming Xie responded as she went on with melting the raw metal material while moulding them.

Lin Hong was dealing with mixing the chemicals and drying them, while Lin Huang was busy passing them whatever they needed.

Eagle looked at how Lin Hong was busy measuring the quantity while weighing it then mixing them.

"Boommm...." The first one exploded as everyone dashed back further away from the table but still the dust covered them.

Lin Hong was wearing protective gears so nothing much happened to him apart from the strong odor.

"Be extra careful next time..." Ming Xie cautioned him as they went upstairs, the odor was too strong for them to go on with anything else and it could be poisonous if alot of it is inhaled.

They switched the lights off as they closed the place and left for the shadow guards to clean up.

They sat down on the couches that were placed in the study room.

"I have somewhere I need to go..." Ming Xie spoke out as she stood up.

" I will go with you.." Lin Hong, Lin Huang, Eagle and Scorpion spoke out at once.

"Why do you want to tag behind me? It's dangerous, stay here." She replied as she walked towards the door.

They all stood up and tagged behind her, "All the more you need people to accompany you." Lin Hong spoke out, what if she also disappears.

Ming Xie turned around and looked at him before sighing lightly.

She let them be, she was still able to protect them just in case they got ambushed.

She walked down to the garage as she got into a van while they also sat down in the backseat.

She drove out as she went down to the South and entered the Kashanon Forest.

She parked at a small trail of a tarmacked road before walking into the Forest.

She walked towards the place she remembers they had gotten into, after a few minutes of walking they arrived at the secret tunnel going down to the place.

She carefully walked inside as the others tagged in behind her but what surprised her was that the entire place looked clean and there weren't any sounds of strange creatures.

"This is strange.." Ming Xie murmured but Lin Huang heard her.

"Yeah it's very strange, last time it wasn't like this, it was creepy and dark energy surrounded the place." They finally arrived at the hall where they could see a coffin that was still illuminating bloody red.

"Ming Xie, does this mean that she is still alive?" Lin Huang worriedly inquired.

" Yeah, she is alive and kicking, what we need to do is wait for her to return." Ming Xie's anxious heart calmed down, after confirming this, it atleast gave her some peace of mind.

Lin Huang curiously ascended up the stairs as he approached the coffin, it was just twenty metres away when a powerful energy pushed him back as he fell down to the foot of the stairs.

He felt a sharp pain from that fall, tears welled in his eyes, Lin Hong hurriedly approached him as he assisted him in getting up.

"Don't act rush next time.." Lin Hong coldly cautioned him.

" Alright brother.." his voice was weak and broken.

He assisted her as Scorpion came forward and carried him.

"Let's go back then, even if we stay here forever we wouldn't understand the abnormalities." He said as he walked back up to the surface while carrying Lin Huang.

The others tagged behind him carefully as they got out of the mining cave back to where they had parked their van.

But suddenly they felt footsteps approaching them from a distance as the dry leaves they stepped out produced sounds that alerted them.

They hid inside the bushes as they controlled their breathing and waited for them, due to darkness they couldn't tell if it was their enemies or friends.

It was a bit darker tonight and there wasn't a moon or stars, the sky was cloudy as it seemed that it could rain any time soon.

While hiding inside the bush, a snake slithered towards their direction, Ming Xie motioned them to stay still and quiet as she had noticed it.

Ming Xie stretched out her hand and caught it's head in seconds, the footsteps that were approaching them halted as the entire place went quite.
